JOHN R. HUETHER AND HARLEY M. SIMMONS, OF QUINCY, WASHINGTON.

To all whom t may concern:

4-Be it known that we, JOHN R. I-Inn'rrmu and HARLEY M. SIMMoNsLcitizensol the y'United States, residingI at Quincy, in the county of Grant andState ot lVashington. have invented certain new and useful .Tmprovementsin Pumps; and we do declare the` following to be a full, clear, andexact enable others skilled in the art to which it up )ertains to makeand use the same.

` l `his invention relates to improvements in. balanced double actingmultiple cylinder rOne object of the invention is to provide a pump ofthis character having' an improved construction and arrangement ofworking parts whereby the power required to operate the pump is onlysuch as is necessary to lift the volume o'l water discharged at euchstroke of the pistons of the pump.

lVith these and` other objects in view the invention consists ci'certain novel features of construction,.and the combination andarranvfement of parts as will be more fully deyk'a'iled and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 i of our improved pump, parts isa side View lbeing broken away and 1n section; Fig. 2 1s acrosssectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1. y

Referring more particularly to lthe drawpipes which are arranged in .thewell and have ducting or distributing pipes 3. The lower end o they pipe1 is connected by a T coupling 4 with a pump cylinder 5 While the pipe2.is connected by a T coupling 6 with a pump cylinder 7. The pumpcylin-v der. is connected at: its lower end by a T coupling S with a`perforated water inlet pipe 9v which extends to the bottom ofthe Wellandthe cylinder 7 is connected by a T coupling l() with .a perforatedwater inlet pipe 11 which also extends to the bottom of Specification ofLetters Patent.

the Well. In the upper ends of the water inlet pipes 9 and 11 arerespectively arranged intake check valves 12 and 13. The T coupling 8 ofthe cylinder 5 is connected byY av branch discharge pipe 14 with the Tcoupling 6 of the cylinder 7 and main dislower end of the branch pipe1.4 is arranged a check valve 15. rllhe T coupling of the cylinder 7 isconnected by a branch dis-1 Patented Dec. 24, 1912. serial No. 649,467.

charge pipe 1G with the T coupling 4 which connects the upper end of thecylinder 5 with the main discharge pipe 1. In the T coupling 10 at thelower end ofthe branch discllarge pipe 16 is arranged a check valve 1T.

Slidablv mounted in the pump cylinder 5 is a solid piston 18 to which.is connected an upwardly extending piston 20 to which is connected apiston rod 21. The piston rods 19 and 21 extend upwardly through themain discharge pipes 1 and 2 and pass through stulling boxes 22 arrangedin they upper end ol said pipe. The upper ends of the piston rods 19 and21 are operatively connected with a suitable pump jack which is hereshown .and preferably com prises a frame 23 in the upper end o1 which isrevolubly mounted a crank shaft 2-1, the cranl-:s 25 ci which reetionsas shown. 'lhe cranks 25 have operatively engaged therewith pitxnan rods26 which are hingedly and adjustahly connected by yokes 2i' to thepiston rods 19 and 21 whereby the latter and the pistons 18 and 20 arereciproeattul. On the ends of the crank shaft 24 are fxedly mounted spurgears 2S which are o )eratively engaged with driving pinions 29 fixed ona counter shaft 30 operatively mounted on the frame 23. On one end ofthe shaft 30 is fixedly mounted a fly wheel 31 while on the opposite endof said sha'ft are mounted tight and loose driving pulleys 32 and 33with which is adapted to be engaged a driving belt 31 whereby the pumpmay be operated by any suitable power.

Tn the operation of the device the pistons 18 and 20 arealternatelyraised and lowered piston rod 19. Slid-V 'ably mounted in the pumpcylinder 7 is a Solid project in opposite di- M in their respectivecylinders by the operating mechanism herein describet. When thusoperated the piston 18 will, on its up stroke litt the valve 12 ,in theupper end of the intake pipe 9 and will draw the water through said pipe9 up into the cylinder 5. At the same time thatl the piston 18 is thusdrawing the water into the is being forced down by the operatingmechanism on its down stroke. In thus moving down the piston 20 willforce the water which has been previously drawn up into the cylinder 7out, through the T coupling 10 past the check valve 17 through thebranch discharge pipe 16 into the main discharge pipe 1 thus lifting orforcing upwardly the water already in the dis` cylinder 5 the `piston 20l this 5 out through the T coupling 8 past the check valve 15 thereinthrough the branchA discharge pipe 14 into the main discharge pipe 2whereby the Water in said pipe is litted and discharged from the outletor distributing 'pipe 3 connected to "the upper end ot pipe.

t' It will thus be seen that by the construction and-arrangement of theparts of the pump proper the same is adapted to be entirely submergedwithin the Water contained in a Well or reservoir and, therefore, thepistons are at all times under the surface ot the volume oat Water. Onthe down stroke of the piston 18 the Water Will be forced from thepulsation chamber 8 into the conduit 2 against a resistance due to lthecolumn of water contained therein, this being the only resistance, andthe latter can be greatly overcome by the velocity of the operatingmechanism ot the pump and the diameter of the conduits 1 and 2 ascompared With the diameter' of the cylinders. lt is clearly obvious thatby increasing the size ot the discharge pipes 1 and Zthe friction due tothe4 velocity of the water passing therethrough is greatly diminished,'and charge pipe 1 descends at one-halt the speed that the water indischarge pipe 2 rises and that this speed or force is only the'difterence of friction oi speed or velocity of the Water.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with theaccompanying' drawings, the construction and operation of the inventionwill be readily understood Without requiring a. more extendedexplanation.

Having thus described our invention what We claim is:

A pump ot the character described, coniprising a pair of Awaterdistributing stand same,

`lower ends of said couplings,

during l the operation of the pump the Water in disl the discharges dueto the pipes, an independent laterally disposed distributing pipeextending from each o the intermediately arranged piston cylinders,T-shaped couplings secured to the lower ends of the piston cylinders,perforated Water inlet pipes secured tothe the lower closed ends ofwhich rest upon the bottom of the Well for supporting the entirestructure, T-shaped couplings connecting the upper ends ofthe pistoncylinders with the stand pipes, branch cylinders connecting thelaterally disposed ends of the coupling, said cylinders having noconnectionwith each other and oppositely disposed but located adjacentto one another and to thepiston cylinder, the 'opposite ends of thebranch cylinders respectively connecting a coupling of one section withthe coupling of the other, check valves arranged in the upper endsoi theu'ater'inlct pipes above the perforations therein, a valve arrangedWit-hin each ot the laterally disposed extensions couplings adjacent tothe lower connected ends of the branch pipes, pistons slidably locatedin the piston cylinders, rods secured to the pistons and passing throughthe Water discharge stand pipes, vertical portions of the uppercouplings -and stand pipes and projecting above thelateral Waterdistributing pipes, and means tor reciprocatingsaid piston rods,whereby'the pistons will be substantially on a line with the valves inthe lower couplings and labove the valves located in the perforatedwater'inlet pipes when in their lowest position, whereby uninterrupteddischarge passages are formed from said last named valves to thedistributing pipes.
